I have actually found a pretty funny site about weight loss facts we all know, but I love the imbecile attitude of it. It's free and it offers the very basics - i.e. "you lose weight when you burn more than you consume".
For the fun of it I tried the calorie maintenance calculator which said that for my age, height and activity level I consume 2350 calories a day. The author suggests consuming 500 calories a day less than usual which should equal a weight loss of a pound a week. As I'm a European girl and pounds turn me off, I'd love to strive for a kilo a week which means I have to increase the number of calories I burn.
Further on the kind man explains that you should divide that newfound calorie number in 5-6 meals every 2-3 hours.
I know from experience that I feel best if I eat at 5 a.m., 8 a.m., 11 a.m., 14 a.m. and 17 a.m. That equals 370 calories per meal. It seems an awful lot if you ask me. Which means I can stick to this plan easily.
Then the man tells us that the right amount of protein for a person of appr. my weight is 90 grams a day - which is one egg! I take it to mean that if I have an egg a day I should be fine in terms of proteins.
So I'm cutting sugar, sticking to 370 calorie meals five times a day and weighing myself once a week. Let's see how that goes. Now I must get back to work. Tomorrow I will try to find an ideal workout plan.
